The Broken Pot

The Broken Pot

There was a prophet during the reign of Josiah named Jeremiah, who walked with God and was called to declare judgment on the kings of Judah. God gave Jeremiah visions of His judgment that was coming on Judah for their sins. He showed Jeremiah that through this judgment Judah would be molded into something beautiful for God just like clay in the hands of a potter. Through these visions and lessons, God gave Jeremiah the courage he needed to speak the word of God in spite of the persecution he would face.

Jeremiah 18:4
In our last reading, we heard how Josiah brought the people back to God, reading the book of the Covenant to them and calling them to renew the covenant God had made with Israel in the days of Moses. He then went through the land and destroyed altars and shrines to honor God and protect people from falling back into idolatry and spiritual bondage. Josiah had already received word from God that His people would be judged for their unfaithfulness. And today we’ll see the beginning of this time, with the initial call of a prophet who would have great significance in the story of God’s people. The prophet Jeremiah.
